BERLIN — Jürgen Klopp watched with a broad smile as Leipzig defeated Werder Bremen 4-2 to reclaim fourth place in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Former Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz coach Klopp took over his new duties as Red Bull's head of the global soccer on Jan. 1. He took the first chance to see the energy drinks manufacturer's German representative in competitive action. Klopp can have had few complaints as he watched Xavi Simons open the scoring and then cancel Mitchell Weiser's response, before Benjamin Šeško made it 3-1 with a brilliant strike from distance after the break. Leipzig substitute Christoph Baumgartner scored in the final minute before Bremen's Oliver Burke scored in stoppage time. Germany forward Deniz Undav returned from injury to lead Stuttgart to a 1-0 win at Augsburg.
